I have gone through many wireless headphones and came back to Bose. I had issues with other companies' products fit and constantly falling out when I jogged. I also had issues with charging and connecting with other products. Bose makes a great set of headphones that fit well, charge quickly and with a long battery life. I have no issues with connection and the sound is up to the typical Bose standards. Great product!

I bought these headphones when they first came out. I had been using another brand's wireless pulse headphones but I sweat so much I would short circuit the headphones. I went through 2 sets of wireless headphones from other brands; one that broke the first time I used it. I bought the Bose headphones and the sound quality is so much better than my the old sets from the other brands. The Bose headset is still growing strong too despite how much I sweat. They stay in my ears pretty good too during my runs with some minor adjustment from time to time. I love that I can see my pulse and I can tell if I can push myself a bit more.

I have been using SoundSport headphones (and the previous bose model where the control was in the middle) for a few years now, and was looking forward to being able to work out without cables. The headset comes in great packaging, with all the charging cables and the transportation pouch. It is super easy to set up, even with the older ipod nano, and works rather seamlessly. The design is gorgeous, and really nice to show off with at the gym, and the autonomy is ok (though not great - about 5 hours which syncs well with my ipod when I use it in bluetooth mode). Controls are super smooth as always with bose (2 touch forward, 3 touch backwards...)I was however a bit disappointed by how it fares with daily usage:- The ear buds are quite bulky and probably a tad too heavy, so they tend to fall off more often than the cable version while working out. The balance with teh control panel is also a bit strange...- Because the buds are bulky, wearing a beanie is quite painful. Needless to say it is an issue to go running in the winter in London...- With an ipod, the only way to check the battery status is to switch off and on again the headsets. Could have been easier- Sound tends to get patchy if the device is too close to the skin or when there is wind. Again, a problem for outdoor runs...- Volume does not get as loud as with my old cable headphones...

So all in all, I am going back to the cable version (at least for my bi-weekly runs), and waiting for the lighter, more balanced upgrade!

I've had these earphones for a little while now and they are just Brilliant! You can tell straight away because of the build and quality, they were made by Bose! Comfortable to wear and when Bose say Dynamic wireless sound, they mean it! The earphones come with 3 different sized ear buds to fit all different ear shapes and sizes. The superb sound is constant throughout and I put them through sitting relaxed at home on my iPad pro and when I was out for a run and even working out in the gym, on my iPhone whether I was listening to my fave music or watching a selection of old movies, the sound through all the sound levels from high to low, there was no loss of quality sound. Once fully charged, they seemed to last for hours and anyway, when you first switch them on (on the right ear) a voice tells you the state of the battery!?Download the Bose Connect App and you can connect the earphones to 2 devices at the same time which is a help. They have a built in heart rate sensor which I used in the gym; smashing!!If you like listening to your music louder than the norm the SoundSport Pulse Wireless Earphones are the one for you because there is NO loss of pure sound and even on the highest volume, no-one can hear it either indoors or out, as the sound cancelling is second to none.I like these earphones a great deal and so glad I got them but then again I really didn’t expect anything less from Bose! Thank you.

I have tried Jabra, Beats, the Apple buds and about 3 others. I can honestly say these are by far the best. They have good base, last for hours and (most importantly) allow me to be active without worry of them falling off. I have the QC35, Quiet Comfort 25, and one other set and I will never again use any headsets other than Bose. PS - I am not a plant but an actual loyal customer.

I purchased these last week and I am very impressed...so far. The reason for my skepticism is that I sweat like crazy and kill most of my headphones quickly. However, I have owned the wired versions for about 6 months so I took a shot with these. The sound is great. As many reviews have pointed out, they are not sound isolating but I use them exclusively for running so I have no issue with that. I upgraded to the "in ear" silicone tips for my wired set to create a more isolated experience, which worked great , but those are not compatible with these. In terms of the heart rate function, I find that it works well. Not as reliably as a strap but close. Those that are having a tough time with this function, I suspect are using the wrong size tips. I started with the mediums that came on the headphones and was getting the intermittent warning that it had lost my heart rate. However, I went to the large tips and found that the tighter fit was all I needed. I ran 6 very sweaty miles with my SoundSports linked to MapMyRun (yes, they link with pretty much every running app out there) and it carried my heart rate the entire run without interruption. The only nitpick I have is the general look of them. I was on the treadmill the other day and looked up at my reflection in the dark treadmill TV screen and I realized that you kind of look like Frankenstein with the pegs in your head when you are wearing these. However, if that is what it takes from a design standpoint to build great sounding DURABLE bluetooth headphones, I am in!! Nice work Bose!! So far!

I bought these thinking these are just going to be another pair of headphones. But I was wrong. I love these. The battery is great and the automatic shutoff is awesome. I feel that is the best quality.

After reading the reviews I was worried. But I bought an Iphone 7 and thought I should use it as such. At first these disconnected and reconnected a lot. I updated the firmware and it helped alot. Eventually I just stopped in from telling me. Been using about 3 weeks now, about 10 hours on different pieces of gym equipment and with runkeeper it is always within one beat of the elliptical, treadmill, or stairmaster. They are comfortable and work. I am not a fan of removing the charging cover as my fat fingers mangle that thing.

I tested both these and the PowerBeats Wireless and these wee far more comfortable amd better sound quality. The heart rate Picked right up. These will stand the test of time for comfort and usability.

So I exhanged my regular Soundsport wireless for these figuring I could get a lot of use out of the heartbeat sensor at the gym. At first it was working fine and then as another reviewer mentioned it constantly bugged me about "adjusting the left earbud" to get a reading. It also gave me an inaccurate reading several times. I attritubted it to the medium rubber earpiece being too big for me so I changed it to the small one and tested it. Seems to work better now but I have yet to try it during a workout again. If it continues to be a problem I will switch back to the regular wireless soundsports.

Bose Sound Sport Pulse Great Bose Quality I have had the Bose SoundSport Pulse headphones for about 10 days now. I was anxious to find something that I can use not only for when I exercise but when I have to take calls while I am on the go or while I am working at my desk. To give you some background I am a female in my lower 50s and have recently began an exercise regimen. Finding really good sport headphones is a challenge but I knew Bose would not let me down. Packaging: It came with a small round soft zippered pouch that fits the headphones and the small charging cable easily. There is no cramming I just simply wind the headphones in my hand and it fits nicely. The Pouch has an inside mesh sleeve for the charging cable so there is not tangling at all. I was also able to fit the extra two sizes of ear adapters incase I needed another size. It seems to protect the headphones sufficiently when thrown into a purse or outside pocket of my laptop bag or gym bag. Fit: At first I had a hard time trying to fit it in my ears. It was not comfortable at all so I knew I was doing something wrong. After reviewing the instructions again I was able to find a way to twist them into my ear and have it positioned correctly. This was only on the first day, after that it was not a problem, just took a little getting use to. My daughter tried them one day and she had no problem so it may just be a generation thing! Use: Just what I expect from Bose, sound is really great and I have used them in many different settings. I had no problem with APP these work with. First thing I noticed is my heart rate being displayed on my phone. This is really nice to have although I am not sure I will be pulling out my phone every time I go running/walking to see my heart rate. I took them to the gym and got on the treadmill. They stayed in place walking and running, they were comfortable, almost like they are suctioned in my ears but without the pressure. I was worried that the size of the headphones was going to be heavy but they are not. The on and off button is easy to get to on the right earphone. What I really like that every time I turn them on it tells me the percentage of battery life it has, no more guessing! Battery life is about 6 hours give or take so that’s really good. I didn’t keep them on for 6 hours straight but had them on and off most of the day. I am able to turn up the volume with the controls, answer a call and hang up without a problem. The folks on the other end can hear me just fine. I have used them at my desk at work to listen to music, take calls in the car, while preparing dinner and now I just keep them around my neck and let them hang so if I get a call I can pop one ear bud in my ear. The cord is comfortable meaning not irritating. There is a clip on the cord that can attach to your collar behind your neck so it won’t slide off. I have long hair and the cord does not get tangled at all. Overall I really love these! I would recommend this product to my family and friends. Seems very durable and is of great quality as expected.

I got these a few weeks ago and haven't been more pleased with workout wireless headphones. They have great sound and are very comfortable. I also have the QC35 headphones and these are on par with them for sound quality. I use these mainly for mountain biking and have had no problem with wind noise. Highly recommend

I purchased these because I started working out again. I had a pair of wired Bose noise Cancelling headphones and the cord would ALWAYS get in the way! Having the wireless headphones now is so nice. The reason I went with the pulse version is to monitor my heart rate while lifting weights. It helps me keep level throughout the process. They fit great, the sound is clear, and they have to be the easiest Bluetooth device I've ever set up. The only thing I would say I would like to have change would be the volume level. I feel it doesn't get as loud as other headphones I've owned. Other than that I love them. I would highly recommend them.

Coming from an older plantronics sport bluetooth headset to these has had huge gains and a few setbacks. Firstly the Bose Soundsport headphones have wonderful sound. I compare them to my Bose Sundtrue 2, Sennheiser 558s, and 2 other cheaper bluetooth headets as well as my apple earpods and they really compare with the soundtrues. Very nice bass as well. The headphones are abit bulky and I do find my plantronics headset more comfortable for working out. I found myself using my Soundsports are the house and for work because getting rid of wires and having this high level of sound quality is new to me. I think for me they arent used the way they are designed to be but instead have filled an area Ive wanted to for awhile. I would prefer abit less bulk for working out. For work as a contractor these are great though. I'm outdoors in all conditions and they've survived rain and very cold temperatures and hold a nice charge so I can use them basically all day. Also worked seemlessly with my iphone 7 plus although I dont find much use for the Bose app. Overall these headphones are the best bluetooth headphones ive tried. With sound quality comparing to some of my best headphones and eliminating wires and pretty good but not the best battery life I can give these a go.

Y used yesterday for first time and while I was running I was comparing heart rate info with a Garmin chest band that works with my Garmin Fénix 3 watch, and pretty much HR info was very similar. Bose Soundsport Pulse wireless headphones stayed in place for almost an House of jogging. I felt very comfortable and light. And, the sound quality vs. a walkman Sony bluetooth is huge, this Bose headphones provide a wealth of exceptional sound. I love it!!

As is expected for Bose, the sound quality is outstanding. The design and functionality of this product is also great. My only critisism is the 5 hour battery life. I don't just use these for a workout. I use them at work. I sit at a computer 6-8 hours per day and having to stop and charge them part way through the day is a bit annoying. With that said, I still highly recommend this product. The benifits GREATLY outweigh that single detractor.

Omg okay so the little clothing clip is fantastic! I thought I lost it after a workout and I was gonna buy new ones. So I worked out the day after I lost it and I was scared that I would have them fall out when working out but they stayed in the whole time, except when I was upside down. Anway when I did laundry I saw my clip was attached to the workout shirt I was using when I first lost it. It went through the washing machine AND dryer but it held on to my shirt, if that's not wild then I don't know what is, man.

these soundsport pulse wireless headphones are the best headphones I ever used. I have tried many headphones while I workout and play sports and theres are the only ones that fit right and do not fall out of my ears. The bluetooth is easy to use and the sound is second to none

Im a big fan for Bluetooth earphones ive tried many brands with wide price range. Bose aoundsports pulse are one of thr best sounding ones but other than that there is not much to it. My ear gets sore if i wear it for too long. The adhesive for the rubber that cover the power botton give up within the first 6 week of purchase. Sport clip is a good design useful for one ear listening but the clip is easy to come off the wire and gets misplaced. Bluetooth range is below average. Customer service is good.

I have used these headphones for over a month now and finally have them working GREAT! At first I had problems mainly because the technicians at first did not know that there was a updated version. Once the update was installed they have worked. Once in a while one must reboot their iPhone for them to reconnect. The sound is fabulous, battery life is good I have nothing but praise for these headphones!

True to all Bose products I've owned, this one is no different! I luv how the Pulse almost immediately connects to my iPhone. Needless to say, Bose didn't compromise by introducing a wireless system as the sound is superb! I agree with previous ratings where it would be nice if the volume-level was a tad-bit louder. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with these headsets, especially if you lead an active lifestyle.

I've been using these for three weeks now...everywhere from working in the yard, to walking on a treadmill and even, in a pinch, on a short flight the other day. The sound qulaity is exactly what you would expect from Bose...full and rich, with that signature mid range clarity they are known for. The APP works without fuss (a rarity it seems in the consumer electronics space) and provides pulse feedback very accuarately. (There's another gizmo on my wrist...and the two were exactly the same 99% of the time.) I love the quality of the rubberized cabling and the sealed volume rocker/playback control. Worked easily, even with gloves on. I really apprecaited the attention to detail in rubberizing the cable for duarabilty and providing a clip to keep cord microphonics (a pet peeve of mine) at bay. My only suggested improvement...for the size of the buds, I thought the battery life would be a bit longer..I woud think there would be space for a good size battery in buds that large...but with relatively quick charging time, its not really a giant hassle...and the sound and build quality outweighs that little inconvenience. I will say, that even with their size...with the correct size tips installed these are very comfortable to wear, seal well and stayed in better than any other buds I've used in active situations...even when the sweat starts flowing. Now if they'd only make me a set in black. ;-) Highly recommended for anyone looking for active lifestyle buds with premium sound.

I use these for the gym and runs all the time. Really good at staying in even if you're doing squats/burpees/sprinting. Although they are a bit larger than you might want they have amazing sound quality so it makes up for it.

I love these headphones. I use them on my 20k+ runs outside and they perform exceptionally well. Even with sweat and running in the rain I love every second listening to music on them. I can hear cars around but it also has good insulation from noise around. I also use them when I don't want to use my QC's on long train rides, tube journeys and relaxing at home. I love them. These are not just for the gym in cocoon but for outdoors too.

These cordless headphones are awesome! The sound quality is great and what is even better is the freedom to move! These earphones literally had me singing in the shower and dancing to my own beat without getting tangled up in cords! These are great for excersicing and they even read your pulse from your ear! I was able to go for my daily run and had no issues with the ear buds popping out. They come with 3 sizes of ear bud and I had to use 2 diff sizes and this was the first time that ear buds have fit in my ears without popping out every 4 seconds! I can not live with out my new Bose ear phones! I love them so much!

I got then like a month or two ago and they are still working amazingly. Compared to Powerbeats 3, the Powerbeats broke in the first few months and these are still performing like they are brand new. If tgese broke i would definitely get another pair. :)

This product appealed to me as I often catch my existing headphones and yank them out of my ears. I read reviews of wireless headphones which allowed me to see that wireless headphones were the future.

I expected these to be great headphones having previously owned Bose products and I was not disappointed. They are a great product with very clear sound quality. And considering the headphones size, they have a great range of sound.

In terms of design I think it is acceptable but on some occasions when I see myself in a mirror, I do think that the bulge in the ear is quite large.

The product and accompanying app is super easy to use, and very intuitive. And am satisfied with the overall experience. However I found that I did not use the heart rate sensor much (even when in the gym) and therefore, for myself, would not opt to have this added feature again.

I would definitely recommend this product to my friends, family and anyone interested in purchasing.

I've been using this product for about a week. I wanted a wireless headphone for gym use, however, I haven't been able to try it out in the gym as yet, but I have some comments to share for daily use.

So the number one feature I value a wireless headphone is how comfortable it sits in the ear without falling out constantly. This product is just one with such great feature (even though I can't say about when doing sports). The base of the headphones is well designed and the weight is well balanced that you won't feel it's too heavy that it'll fall out. I also like it particularly the inline mic where you can answer a phone call or tune up/down the volume without going to your phone. Of course the sound quality of Bose is not in question at all.

However, there are some features that I personally have a minus comment. The headphones have a built-in heart rate sensor. It will notify you when heart rate is detected and when it's lost. I don't find an option to disable or mute this notification. It's kinda bothering when you just want to listen to the music without being interrupted. The other minus feature is that the headphones are not great on phone calls. There is very loud background noise that is not filtered by the headphones, which makes the other person's voice very quite (switching to Apple headphones immediately solves the problem).

One of my biggest requirements was they stay put during all gym, running & cycling. Otherwise they are kind of pointless. For this reason along I discounted several high end rivals when I saw reviews from people actually using them whilst active. 2 weeks in and passed the test on all sports so far including full body sessions with lots of jumping around etc. Still experimenting with bud size as I have had an annoying experience when running where the heart rate kept dropping and then being picked back up almost instantly along with the accompanying voice prompts. Solved part of this issue by turning off voice prompts but still keen to find the best bud fit. They still didn't fall out of the ear at any point though. One thing I'm stuck on is getting heart rate data to the apple health app. Headphones simply don't show up as a source. I've tried whilst wearing them with BPM displayed in the Connect app but they don't appear as a source. Same if I close the app and Bluetooth pair. Still doesn't show as a source? Any ideas please?

For me it would be great if the Connect app had a bit more HR functionality such as history and high's or lows on each particular session. I accept BOSE are not a fitness tracker manufacturer but they have entered the edge of this space with this product and an app that had some simple functionality would save me a subscription on some of the fitness apps. I hope BOSE explore what would probably be an easy update to add to Connect one day soon.

Oh and as a part time audiophile the sound is great for fitness headphones.

If you want to train hard you sweat, a lot. When buying headphones before I had to choose either great sound that broke,or poor sound quality, These don't, full pitch range is as good as most full size headphones. Heartrate monitoring first rate.They look odd of course but I don't care.

I have used the earphones for a while now and continue to be impressed with the high quality of their design and excellent sound quality. They are really comfortable to wear when running or in the gym, and I have occasionally used them on my commute to work as well. They were fairly easy to set up using the Bose App on my iPhone, and have simple controls on the ear. The wireless connection to my phone and the sound quality are really good. I like the durable design, with the only drawback being the sporty red plastic used in the finish, which means they can only look good when exercising. All in all I''m really happy for them and love the fact they are wireless!

I am extremely impressed with these earbuds. I have tried a few different sets of bluetooth earbuds and these blow them away. First off the bluetooth connection is flawless, no skips or connections pauses like others I've tried. They have excellent range with the expected Bose sound quality. The battery life is very good at about 6 or so hours of play time. My favorite part is the silicon ear pieces, they are very comfortable and you just about forget you have them in your ear. I love the tangle-free cord and the microphone/talk feature is very clear. Despite the look of something hanging out of ear, I was rather surprised I only had to adjust them or once in a while and only during a workout. I have always been a fan of Bose and these are a dynamite addition to the collection.

I have 2 set of this boss sport I use it everyday more than 12 hours a day and yes it can get very uncomfortable on yours ears and the clips go missing in the first day you use it. And I agree on the other users review the bottoms don't last long for the amount you pay for you use it for less than 6 months. And the battery don't last long either less than 4 hours on both my unit. Getting factory what a hassle!

I received it a week ago as a gift for my birthday from my husband. I run at least 5 miles a day & love that I don't have to charge it up right after my runs. Connecting to my IPhone was painless. The wireless option is great it doesn't get in the way of running or snagged in my clothes. They are also feet nicely in my ear.
